Dance with me, my darling For the summer clock does grind And its hands are getting stronger Squeezing harder every time We get so close, we feel the flames But we can't quite see the fire Setting blaze to the pyre
And now there's blood on my kerchief But I think my moment's come Cuz the past and the future Are both boiling into one There's a girl's voice on the telephone Telling me that everything will be fine But all I'm picking up Is static on the line
?? ??
Cuz until the next time I'll be somewhere swimming in the barley wine Fighting all the waves until I wash ashore again Underneath all of the pines Where we watched the garden grow Dreamed so big only thoughts could go Coins so small they were never thrown to the sea Like wishes from the hands of poor boys just like me
And I pay taxes on this dance And there's a fee for helplessness Retribution for a life spent On the drunk side of the fence I'll gather what's left and split it in two And place wagers with each of my hands One coin on guilty The other on innocence
?? ??
Cuz until the next time I'll be somewhere swimming in the barley wine Fighting all the waves until I wash ashore again Underneath all of the pines Where we watched the garden grow Dreamed so big only thoughts could go Coins so small they were never thrown to the sea Like wishes from the hands of poor boys just like me
?? ?? It feels so good to be alive, yeah ?? ?? So baby come with me now Baby come with me COME ON
So jump in the barley wine Dive to the bottom and close your eyes We'll flow forever like dreams that were cast to the sea All at the cost of a dime And impossible Is nothing when you have a dream to hold We find our dreams in the glorious ever-loving bottomless pot of gold ??
